I’m glad you spoke up. I watched the clip and I couldn’t get through more than a few seconds because the energy is not Christlike. The thought I had watching it is how many Christians basically live in the performative spectacle Jesus condemned in Matthew 6. That’s how we get into this “I’m harsher than you in my judgment of the lost world” competition. But all that performativity is filthy rags compared to the righteousness that comes about through trusting in grace.
This blog emerged as I reflected on the clip. I liked some of the statements, but it just didn’t sit right with me. I started writing to make sense of it and this came out. Thank you for reading. Your feedback is such an affirmation to me.
